He spend half an hour looking round the factory and then he went to the canteen to meet the workers. The feeling of the meeting was expressed by a placard on the wall: " Thanks Tony. We ll Make it Work." He was so pleased with the placard that he asked if he could have it.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Industry Secretary, Mr. Anthony Wedgewood-Benn, is warmly greeted by the enthusiastic staff of the Meriden motor cycle co-operative in this print from 21st March 1975. Stepping foot into the factory for the first time since production began, Mr. Wedgewood-Benn was given a tremendous welcome that reflected the workers' appreciation for his presence. Taking his time to explore every corner of the factory, Mr. Wedgewood-Benn's genuine interest in their work resonated with the dedicated employees. The camaraderie and support amongst them were beautifully captured by a placard proudly displayed on one of the walls: "Thanks Tony. We'll Make it Work". This simple yet powerful slogan encapsulated their determination to succeed under his leadership. Moved by this heartfelt expression of gratitude, Mr. Wedgewood-Benn couldn't resist asking if he could keep this cherished memento as a reminder of their shared commitment towards making a difference together. This nostalgic photograph not only showcases an important moment in history but also symbolizes unity and collaboration within an industry striving for success during challenging times. It serves as a testament to how influential leaders can inspire and motivate those they serve while leaving lasting impressions on both sides.
